On Friday Richard has a free afternoon. I want to show him the sights of the city. We start our tour from his hotel. First we go to St. Isaac's Cathedral. Then we walk to Decembrists' Square. There we see the famous monument to Peter the Great and the buildings of the Senate and the Synod. Then we turn right and go along the Neva embankment to the Admiralty and the Winter Palace. We see a long line of tourists in front of the Hermitage museum. Across the river we see the Peter and Paul Fortress. We go back and turn left onto Palace Square. Richard likes the city very much but soon he's tired. So we go back to his hotel.
Before we say goodbye I invite Richard to my place on Saturday. We're going to have a party. He thanks me for the invitation and promises to come. He doesn't have a car here in Petersburg, so he's going to take the metro.
